A keen traveller himself, the restaurant owner offered us a free guided tour of this Lego-like castle, and showed us the secret passages, hot oil defense, wine storage, knight’s quarter, church, Muslim prayer room, Ottoman baths, and various symbols left by the Crusaders, Baibars and Ottoman, before bringing us a table full of mezze.
